Mosque result may have differed under Giuliani

August 30, 2010

Now it's a mosque to be built near ground zero, where nearly 3,000 innocent civilians were killed. The attack by Muslim terrorists was not a legal issue. It was war, and the religious leaders of Islam have not been willing to deal with its terrorist arm. They haven't even been willing to condemn them.

Now we are told this is a purely legal matter, and the developers have property rights. I wonder if this would have ever become an issue if Rudy Giuliani were the current mayor and simply shouted "absolutely no." Shame on the current "progressive" mayor, the city council and the city zoning board.

Legalism is becoming the biggest threat the United States has faced in its history. It seems to trump decency, mutual respect and common sense.
